2025-11-11
On November 4, the official website of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Ecological and Environmental Protection Industry Association released the publicity of the proposed approval of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the integrated project of 60,000-tonne green hydrogen production via water electrolysis and 180,000-tonne high-end chemical new material green melamine by Defengyuan (Hami) Chemical Technology Co., Ltd.
The main projects of this project include: a 60,000-tonne/year water electrolysis hydrogen production unit, a 40-tonne titanium-based solid alloy hydrogen storage unit, a 340,000-tonne synthetic ammonia unit, a 900,000-tonne/year urea solution unit, two sets of 90,000-tonne/year melamine units, and two sets of 400,000-tonne/year new-type compound fertilizer units. Public utilities include heat supply, water supply, drainage and power supply and distribution projects. Storage and transportation projects include liquid ammonia spherical tanks, product warehouses and other raw and auxiliary material storage warehouses. Auxiliary projects include circulating water stations, substations, comprehensive office buildings, etc. Environmental protection projects include waste gas treatment facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, solid waste temporary storage facilities, noise control measures, environmental risk prevention and control facilities, etc.
The maximum hydrogen production capacity is 126,000 Nm³/h, with an annual hydrogen output of 60,000 tonnes and a by-product oxygen output of 480,000 tonnes. The project will set up 8 water electrolysis workshops, equipped with 128 electrolyzers (2 for standby). Each electrolyzer has a hydrogen production capacity of 1,000 Nm³/h and a hydrogen production pressure of 1.5 Mpa (hydrogen at the purification outlet). Each electrolysis workshop is equipped with 16 electrolyzers, 4 sets of gas-liquid separation systems, 2 sets of hydrogen purification systems and 2 sets of oxygen purification systems. Every 4 electrolyzers share 1 set of gas-liquid separation system, and each 2 sets of gas-liquid separation systems are matched with 1 set of hydrogen purification and oxygen purification facilities. Supporting water and alkali injection facilities will also be constructed.
